Sci fi futures, developmental futures. A future I love includes some of these; what do you guys see?
- Everyone is wealthy AF. Used to be only the uber-wealthy had private drivers, now upper-middle income city dwellers all have a private driver on demand (uber/lyft). This is for everyone, rural and otherwise, and it's not just about drivers. Private chefs, personal trainers, a feeling of safety from violence or crime, opportunities for meaningful use of your day, plenty of leisure, specialized health care, respect, travel; all of the things that appear to be available to only the wealthy are obviously available to all. The vision doesn't depend on government or private ways of getting there.
- Space travel and interplanetary / galactic civilizations. Not like The Expanse, these are peacefully interacting both as humans and with other galactic civilizations, yet represent an incredible, unimaginable diversity of culture and experiences. Post humans with wild gene-editing so people can breathe underwater or fly or even survive in hard vaccuum, cyborg integrations, etc. Faster than light travel? Yes please.
- Meaning and purpose: People embrace deep questions about meaning and purpose as existential quests; like puberty we understand that we go through cycles of meaning and purpose, and we know that 'the game' is to stay aligned with an ever-evolving "dharma" —a soul obligation/purpose that's deeply personal to us and the curriculum we need to learn. Plus, we've normalized loving (serving and being devotion with each other, playing, learning, growing) as daily drivers of meaning and purpose just as we do with children
- Developmental awareness normalized. So many problems become opportunities when we see them through the developmental stack. So many psychological and sociociological studies get contextualized and properly understood and limited.
- Developmental studies are clarified. Instead of a bunch of divergent views there's a broad consensus with lots of people exploring the nuances in different places, contexts, etc, all the up and down the developmental stack including atoms.
- "Education" is play
- Micro-communities are healthy tribal, but not ethnocentric and murderous. The interoperate with ease.
- Full integration with nature. Even on generation ships and in space and on other planets. In some ways this redefines what integration with nature is; in other ways it's just obviously better and more integrated. Like walking down a hallway of an apartment complex has more lush nature, animals, water, etc
